The Mannheim University Clinic is a university maximum care hospital on the northern bank of the Neckar in the Wohlhotels district . It has around 30 clinics and institutes of almost all medical specialties. As one of the few non-state-owned university hospitals in Germany, it is operated by the city of Mannheim. The Mannheim Medical Faculty, which has been located here since 1969, is part of the University of Heidelberg . The name University Clinic has only been used since 2001, which is why the population still often speaks of the city hospital. As a sign of the connection between health care and science, the Mannheim University Hospital and the Mannheim Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg have been operating as Universitätsmedizin Mannheim (UMM) since the end of 2008 . However, there is also a separate logo for the faculty, which essentially corresponds to that of Heidelberg University. Not belonging to the clinic, but involved in university education and research, the Central Institute for Mental Health takes on the care contract for mentally ill people in Mannheim.

history

Borromäusspital

Old Borromeo Hospital in R5

The origins of the Mannheim University Clinic go back to the hospital in R 5 square , founded by Elector Karl Philipp in 1730 . The initially 12 beds were available to impoverished and sick court and state employees as well as orphans. In 1802 the electoral hospital was dissolved, but the city saw the need to create a replacement institution and so in 1806 the Armen-Polizey-Commission took over the Borromäusspital. This municipal commission was set up to combat poverty, as more and more people were living in poverty due to the economic decline of Mannheim after the electoral court was moved to Munich . In the middle of the 19th century the building was expanded several times and in 1858 it had 336 beds.

Until 1894, all the buildings in square R 5 were part of the hospital. Since further extensions were not possible, the construction of a new hospital was applied for. The discussions about necessity and location were very tedious, so that construction work on a new building planned by Richard Perrey, the head of the municipal building department at the time, did not begin at the current location until 1913 . Due to difficult economic conditions after the First World War , the “municipal hospitals” could only be moved into on July 8, 1922. When it went into operation, 1,140 hospital beds and 392 staff beds were available in the elongated castle-like facility that ran parallel to the banks of the Neckar. The building was considered to be an exemplary combination of two floor plan systems in hospital construction, on the one hand the corridor system with short distances but a greater risk of infection due to the air connections, mainly used in the mid-19th century, and on the other hand the pavilion system developed towards the end of the 19th century . At the inauguration, the clinic was considered the most modern hospital in Europe and the foreign press is said to have reprimanded that Germany, a country that was losing out in the war, could afford such a hospital.

In January 1945 the building was badly damaged in air raids. After the reconstruction in 1961, an expert report by the German Hospital Institute e. V. that the hospital "no longer meets the medical and nursing requirements of a hospital with maximum care". The plans already promised under Prime Minister Kurt Georg Kiesinger for the new construction of the clinic with 2,100 beds on the north-eastern outskirts were abandoned in the 1970s in favor of an expansion at the existing location. This was not least due to the concerns of the Heidelberg Medical Faculty, which feared a shift in the priorities in favor of the “Mannheim Faculty of Clinical Medicine”, which was just emerging.

To date, the clinic complex has been and is being expanded and modernized with numerous new buildings. In 1987 the building of the women's , eye and ENT clinic was completed, in 1991 the new building for internal medicine and in 1994 the new building for orthopedics. In 2003 the new children's center and the urological clinic were inaugurated, and finally in January 2008 the new dermatological clinic . In October 2008 a patient house with around 120 rooms was opened. This is a unique project in the German hospital landscape. Patients with little need for care can be accommodated here more comfortably without additional payment, only special services are chargeable. This concept was awarded the “ RFH Hospital Innovation Prize” in 2009. After the old dermatological clinic was demolished, the new construction of the clinic pharmacy, which was put into operation at the beginning of February 2012, began. Construction of the new functional building, House 32, which mainly houses operating theaters and intensive care units , began in 2010 and moved into in January 2013. In 2017, a new stem cell transplant unit with special hygiene technology went into operation, with which the university hospital can treat twice as many patients with life-threatening blood cancers as before.

Waldhof-Ost location

From 1965 to 2009 the III. and temporarily also the IV. Medical Clinic moved to a second location in the Waldhof-Ost district . This branch was initially built as a retirement and nursing home, but when it was completed, operations could not be started due to a lack of staff, so that the building was used as a “provisional” hospital for more than 40 years as a nursing school. The affiliated laboratories and the CML study center as well as the competence network for leukemia have moved to the premises at Neuer Messplatz since June 2009, so that a whole historical chapter came to an end after this location was closed.

Old laundry

Old laundry

The old laundry building is located north of the clinic on Röntgenstrasse. It was built in 1913 and also housed the boiler and machine house of the municipal hospital's thermal power station. Most of the complex, made of sandstone and red-brown clinker, is below street level. The Art Nouveau building is a listed building. The heat for the laundry as well as for the clinic buildings was obtained from coal that was brought from Mannheim harbor by train. Today there are gas-powered units in the building that generate heat for the clinic. The old laundry, which was in operation until the 1970s, also houses the laboratories of the Center for Medical Research (ZMF) .

Corporate structure

In 1997, the company was converted into a non-profit GmbH under the name Klinikum Mannheim gGmbH . The city of Mannheim is the sole shareholder and the company has thus been partially privatized. Since 2001, the former municipal clinic has been able to call itself the “university clinic”, with health care remaining in the hands of the city, while the state of Baden-Württemberg is responsible for medical training and university research. Since 2017, the clinic has also been operating in the commercial register under the name Universitätsklinikum Mannheim GmbH .

Freddy Bergmann and the medical director Hans-Jürgen Hennes are managing directors with equal rights. The company management is divided into different areas: Purchasing division (Dr. Stefan Wilhelm), Finance division (Godfried Hangx), Logistics / commercial operations division (Uwe Krause), Human resources division (Petra Zarbock), Nursing division (Yvonne Dintelmann), Cross-sectional function division ( Zoé Morgenstern), Technology Division (Thomas Schumacher), Technology Management Division (Walid Sbaih) and Central Clinical Facilities Division (Christoph Klein).

Hygiene problems 2014

At the beginning of October 2014, operations had to be shut down to an emergency program due to hygiene problems. After an anonymous complaint and investigations by the Karlsruhe Regional Council, in-house dishwashers for surgical instruments turned out to be inadequately certified. The public prosecutor's office started an investigation. In the course of the problems, the managing director, Alfred Dänzer, resigned and a new management was appointed. Due to the loss of operating income and investments in new equipment, the clinic incurred costs of EUR 8.6 million until mid-December 2014.

After a review in June 2015, the Karlsruhe Regional Council determined: "The clinic and the external service provider commissioned have brought the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) to a good standard in a short time."

history

Scheme of the relationships between city, university and state to the Medical Faculty Mannheim

Due to the large number of applicants for medical studies, the Science Council called for the expansion of the training facilities. At the same time, consideration was given to opening the city hospitals for academic use. The city of Mannheim was initially considering downgrading the hospital on the banks of the Neckar to normal care and letting the state of Baden-Württemberg finance the above-mentioned completely new building on the outskirts. Finally, on November 10, 1964, teaching began at the Mannheim Municipal Hospitals as a supposed preliminary stage to a university hospital to be built later. In 1969 an independent faculty, the Second Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, was established. The situation with two medical schools in one university has not always been easy. At the end of the 1960s, for example, there was growing concern at Heidelberg University that serious competition could arise with its own faculty and that this would lead to state funding being withdrawn. On the other hand, the state government in Stuttgart wanted to prevent the city ​​hospitals from being redeveloped with state funds without research and teaching benefiting accordingly. The question of breaking away from the mother university and integrating it into the University of Mannheim has also been discussed again and again. In 1978, therefore, a faculty commission was set up to prepare a structure and development plan , which worked out resolutions on the future connection of the faculty. She came to the conclusion that ... a detachment of the faculty (...) is not desirable because the faculty still lacks important chairs in the field of theoretical medicine (...).

Old brewery, since the renovation lecture and seminar building

For years only the clinical part of the medical degree could be completed at the "Faculty of Clinical Medicine Mannheim". With the introduction of the MaReCum (Mannheim Reformed Curriculum for Medicine and Medical Professions) in the 2006/07 winter semester, it was upgraded to a full faculty with its own pre-clinic and renamed "Mannheim Medical Faculty". The approximately 1,400 students currently enrolled here can choose between the main areas of practice-oriented medical studies , human medicine with a master’s degree and a scientific career .

The Institute for Medical Technology with five professorships has existed since 2008 as a cross-university scientific institution of the University of Heidelberg and the University of Mannheim . As an interdisciplinary research institution, it is intended to advance the competencies of both universities in the fields of medicine and engineering. Since the winter semester 2008/09, the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences has been offering the interdisciplinary "Medical Technology" course in cooperation with the Mannheim Medical Faculty.

Research priorities

  • Oncology: the Mannheim Interdisciplinary Tumor Center ensures interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • Neuroplasticity and pain research: there is a close collaboration with the Central Institute for Mental Health .
  • Vascular biology and medicine: The focus is on the structural and functional analysis of the vessel walls.
  • Medical technology: application-oriented research in imaging and image analysis.

Library

Library of the Medical Faculty Mannheim and ZMF

The heart of the Medical Faculty Mannheim is the library, which has been located with the Center for Medical Research (ZMF) in the multifunctional research building on the premises of the University Hospital since 2001. Due to the increase in the number of students with the upgrade to a full faculty, an extension was necessary, which was inaugurated in June 2008.
In the category of Medical Scientific Library she won in Germany-wide library ranking 2006 of the German Library Association the first place.

Dr. Hans Martini Medal

This undoped award, presented for the first time in 2008 by the Medical Faculty of Mannheim, is presented at irregular intervals to personalities who have made a special contribution to the Faculty. Hans Martini was honored with the first medal, and the award is named in his honor.

Trivia

Main entrance with the "Paris Gate"

The entrance to the clinic is adorned by the “Paris Gate”, a wrought-iron Art Nouveau work by Josef Neuser. The city commissioned Neuser to represent the Mannheim craft at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris with the gateway to the trade school in square C 6. In three months he forged a work of art, six meters high and 4.8 tons, based on designs by Hermann Götz, decorated with neo-baroque tendrils made of leaves and ornaments. However, the “Paris Gate” proved unsuitable for school and stood in the backyard until 1920. Then it was expanded left and right by 16 centimeters, crowned with the city coat of arms and installed in the main entrance of the new hospital on the Neckar. It was the hospital's logo for a long time before it was replaced by the current logo in November 2008.
